“You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving”– Amy Carmichael

 

 

Amy Carmichael is about the relationship between love and giving. It means that while it’s possible to give or provide something for someone without truly caring about them, it’s not possible to genuinely love someone without also giving something of yourself to them.

True love requires making sacrifices, donations of your time, energy, resources or attention. So according to Carmichael, the act of giving is an essential part of what love is. The quote suggests that love cannot exist without some element of selfless giving as well.
